Creating an image preview using JQuery and a select form field

This article will deal with a user choosing a value from a Select field, and that selection being passed to a JQuery handler. The JQuery handler will perform an AJAX request to a CFC, which will return a JSON value (URL String) that we will use to populate an img html tag.
